Green cancels senate race
Couch potato?
By Larry Boi!ijolie Editor-in-Chief In an effort to save time and money, Associated Student Government President Ken Green called off senatorial elections slated for early this week. Green used as a basis for his decision a precedent-setting case in which Dr. Robert Daugherty was appointed to his position on Palomar's Governing Board due to the lack of an opponent. Ten senatorial seats were available; however, only eight candidates were approved to vie for the positions. According to Marilynn Lunde, senior secretary of Student Activities, 15 applications for the positions were handed out. Of those 15, 12 were filled out and returned for processing. Four of the prospective candidates were disqualified due to the inability to meet basic requirements. "I am disappointed that not more people were involved in the process," said Director of Student Activities Jim Bowen. Bowen claimed the lack of

Car burglary spree hits; Patrol without suspects By Tamra Goulart Staff Writer "Someone's breaking into cars," warns Boyd Mahan, director of the Campus Patrol. Three automobile burglaries, two petty thefts and one grand theft, have taken place in the course of two days. ''We haven't had that kind of theft before," Mahan says. "It's a little scary." "Petty thefts are anything under $400," explains Mahan. "Grand thefts have to go to the state. Our reports stay local, so grand theft victims are told to call the Sheriff's Department." In one incident on Sept. 22, student Lori Taguma reported leaving her car at 8:30 a.m. in parking lot 5D. When she returned at 4:30 p.m she realized her car had been burglarized. Taguma explained to the Campus Patrol that she had left the sunroof partially open, which appeared to be the point of entry. Taguma reported $80 in cash and a $200 diamond watch missing from her 1981 Mazda RX-7. Also on Sept. 22, student Rich Campbell reported leaving his car in lot 12 at 9:00 a.m. When he returned at 1:00 p.m., he found his Alpine car stereo and four speakers missing. The stereo, which was stolen from Campbell's 1988 Volkswagen Jetta, is valued at $900. The grand theft was reported to the Sheriff's Department, who fl.led the report. Although the Sheriff's Department saw no signs ~f forcible entry, they believe the probable point of entry to be a door window. In another incident, at approximately 12:30 p.m. on Sept. 23, Kevin Schwab witnessed three

men leaving the area of a white Volkswagen Karmann Ghia while jogging through the lot. Schwab described the suspects as white males, approximately 20 years old, with dark hair, and supposedly fleeing the scene in a silver Toyota Tercel. One of the suspects was seen carrying a royal blue wetsuit that appeared to have an object wrapped inside. Schwab notified the Campus Patrol, who immediately investigated. The owner of the car was not present, so Officer Tim Phipps left a note on the car asking the registered owner to contact the Patrol office. After receiving the note, owner Glen Biltz reported to Campus Patrol that his wetsuit and skateboard were missing. However, Biltz stated that $200 in checks and cash were left untouched in the glove compartment. A broken window was believed to be the point of entry. Mahan admits there is little chance of retrieving the stolen articles, especially in the case of the car stereo, because there were no serial numbers. "I doubt that the thieves that stole it are going to use it," he comments. Mahan explains that stolen car stereos are usually resold by those wanting to obtain drugs or other illegal items. In such thefts, the thieves usually receive only 10 to 20 percent of the actual value of the stereos, he said. In such cases, Campus Patrol has only limited jurisdiction. According to Mahan, the Campus Patrol cannot chase or make any physical contact with suspects, as Palomar claims no liability. Campus Patrol officials have

participation was due to the inability of the ASG to inform students of the available senate seats. In a letter to ASG senators, dated Sept. 26, Green announced the qualification of all eight senatorial candidates, stating that, "It makes sense to just seat the senators at our October 5th meeting." In the letter, Green cited that hours campaigning and staffmg the ballot station are spent in running elections. He also pointed out that costs of as much as $50 is allocated by the ASG to each candidate to forge a campaign. ''The balloting stations would have been open four days and nights," said Bowen. "We probably would have had to pay people to run the stations. The decision will save money." The Daugherty decision, which Green used for precedence, drew upon a provision in the California Education Code which allowed him to be appointed due to a lack of candidates. Bowen, who stated earlier that
he would follow the ASG constitution, pointed out that no provisions in the document were violated by the decision. "There is nothing in the constitution that addresses this issue," said Bowen. The problem of unavailable candidates in the ASG elections is not a new one, although Green's decision to cancel the election is. In past elections, if too few candidates were running to fill available seats, 25 percent of all votes cast were required to elect a candidate. If a student vied for a senate position and did not receive one quarter of the votes, then he or she would not acquire the position. "It's a waste of time to vote when there are not enough candidates," said Bowen. In the future Bowen hopes to increase awareness by students of upcoming elections. "This time we didn't work hard enough to get the word out," he said. Bowen hopes to solicit future senatorial candidates from the ranks of the Interclub Council and Political Science classes.
Women's center ljust vanished' By Jonathan Young Production Manager
Confusion has arisen amid the recent closing of the Women's Center. Started as a student help center, the center was closed at the beginning of this year due to the lack of a coordinator, insufficient fmancial support, and a desire to better utilize room R-10. The fmal decision to close the center came from a collaboration between Jim Bowen, director of Student Activities, and ASG President Ken Green. "I noticed over the summer, it (the room) wasn't being utilized," said Bowen, who took over for Frank Hankin this year. He also noticed that the ASG was looking for a "more visible" room for the Student Information Center. Lois Galloway, who coordinated the center last year, did not return in that capacity this year, and the vocational education department will not be using the center, Bowen also discovered. After Bowen discussed the matter with Dr. David Chappie, vice-president of student affairs, and his assistant, Dr. Kent Backart, Bowen and Green mutually agreed to put the center "on hold" and move the Student Information Center to R-10. Green, the ASG vice president, and the ASG senators are using R-7, where the Student Information Center was located, as office space. The
Information Center is now located in room R-10, taking the space alloted for the Women's Center. "The Women's Center, in effect, is not terminated, just on hold," said Bowen. Bowen, along with other college officials, says that the center wasn't maintaining enough activity to keep that room. He said that the center was only open two hours a day. But he adds, "We have other rooms that could be open all the time." "Whenever it wasn't to be staffed, it can be ... if there's a need, we've got a facility." Chappie, in a seperate interview, agreed with Bowen, saying, "There were no activities outside it being a lounge. There were also some workshops, though." In contradiction, Galloway gave evidence to the center's success. ''We used the center as a referral service, helping women in crisis situations," she said. "It was a place for students to help students, women to help women." According to her, about 700 students came through last year between October and May. "The students who worked there had enough information and knowledge to make effective referrals," Galloway said, also pointing out that the students assisted in such areas as jobs and child care.

Sexual harassment cited 1n pamphlet By Cris Fraser
Staff Writer "Sexual harassment of students and empolyees is unacceptable and will not be tolerated," says a pamphlet on sexual harassment released by Palomar's Human Resource Services. These pamphlets were given out during spring registration. Human Resource Coordinator Jane Engleman defines sexual harassment as "any action that is unwelcome and has been made known that it is unwelcome, has some degree of repetition, and makes one's environment feel uncomfortable." According to the pamphlet sexual harassment takes many forms. It may be visual, such as posters, cartoons or calendars that are inappropriate for the classroom or work place; offensive gestures; or leers. It can also be in the form of disparaging remarks about one's gender, anatomy or sexual activ-

ities; derogatory comments, slurs or jokes; persistant expressions of sexual interest after being informed that they are unwelcome. It can even be in written form. For example, suggestive or obscene letters, notes, memos; invitations; inappropriate written comments on papers, tests or reports. The most extreme form is physical sexual harassment, which can include assault; touching, and impeding or blocking movements. Most often, women are harassed by men who exert some power over them either on the job or at school. However, both men and women may be harassed by another person of the same sex. Occasionally, women harass men. According to a poll in October's Venture magazine 38 percent of the people surveyed who claimed to have been a victim of sexual harassment were men. Two-thirds of the 38 percent say the harassment was caused by
fellow male co-workers. Eighty percent of both men and women say that the harassment involved intimate touching. The pamphlet said people may be harassed by co-workers or fellow students. Women in traditionally male career or academic fields may be harassed by their male peers, intending to drive them away. The pamphlet also provides several measures to prevent or stop sexual harassment. First, one must confront his or her harasser and say "no," loud and clear. It is extremely important to relay to the harasser that the harassment is offensive, unwelcome, and that the victim wants it to stop. If the harassment continues, records should be kept of dates, places, times, witnesses, the nature of the harassment and when the episodes were reported. Also, one should talk to other co-workers or fellow students to find out if they or anyone else they

Most sexual harassment victims do not report what has happened to them. They are afraid people will say they asked for it or that no one will believe them. Engleman points out that "victims should come foreward and tell someone about it even if they do not want to file a complaint. "Calls or information given to the Human Resource Services Office, the Student Services Offices or the Sex Equity Coordinator on campus will be confidential," she says. A call to these places will not result in a formal complaint unless the victim is willing to file such a complaint. More impor-

As the pamphlet says, "Everyone can help provide an environment free from sexual harassment by confronting information and reporting it when it occurs. According to the pamphlet, "We must all share information about the problem and work toward its solution."

tantly, the complaint or concern will be taken seriously. Engleman discloses that Palomar has had only a handful of sexual harassment cases and all were "resolved quietly." She also emphasizes that sexual harassment victims should tell anyone with whom they feel comfortable in confiding with a teacher, a counselor, a friend - but they should tell someone. Sexual harassment is a form of sexual discrimination and is thereby prohibited by law. Engleman urges anyone who knows someone who is being harassed to encourage them to take action or even report it themselves.
know has been harassed by the same person. Most importantly, one should get emotional support. The victim must recognize that he is faced with a crisis that can damage his health, self-confidence and career.

"What grade did you get?" "Oh, no, we get the tests back today!" "Why argue with the teacher? One question won't change your grade." You heard and made statements like these all through high school. Remember high school? The place we attended because attendance was "required?" But you're .in college now. Maybe you're here because you want to further your educat ion or get ready for a four-year school. Okay, maybe your parents said, "Go to school or move out". Either way you made a decision. But are you doing the things needed to reach your goal? On what are you focusing in order to reach your goals? Grades? Or learning? These are important questions, because grades and learning have no relationship at all. We've all taken a class where we received a good grade, but didn't seem to have learned anything afterwards. Conversely, we've probably had classes we really struggled with, and maybe we received only a C or a D, but we learned things that have always stayed with us. Grades are a tool. They exist t o tell the teacher and student if they are going in the direction the t eacher wants. Often that presents no problem, as they both travel in the same direction. But remember, grades are only a tool, not value markers. They can only indicate what they are designed to indicate; no more, and usually less. One of the biggest favors you can do yourself while you attend Palomar is to unlearn the grade-motivation that propelled you through 12 years of public school. That behavior may have been appropriate once, but it isn't appropriate now. You should be here to learn, not to jump through hoops. · It seems the students who have the least amount of trouble in this regard are those who have returned to school after working right out of high school. They've been in the "real world" and know exactly what they want to take back with them. Remember, school is designed to help you get ready for that "real world;" don't waste your time by focusing on the wrong opinions.

Shuttle mis s ion not in vain With t he successful launching of the space shuttle Discovery, the United States once again t akes stride in t he space race. The race began nearly three decades ago when the Russians launched the first manmade satellite, Sputnik, into orbit. The decade that followed was a series of sprints between Russia and the U.S. to reach various far-out goals. Russia started the race briskly by sending the first man into space. The race intensified when America duplicated the event and pulled ahead by sending the first man into orbit. One of the greatest steps in the space race was when the U.S. landed on t he moon. The acheivment effectively left the U.S.S.R. eating american dust. During the 70s both the reds and the yankees produced laboratories in space. The race was even called off for a short period of time when russian technology met american technology with t he Apollo-Soyuz mission. In this decade we have sent p robes past Saturn and Jupiter. The U.S. gained more ground on t he soviets by landing a probe on Mars. The space shuttle program made its debut and rocket ed to success. Then the U.S. stumbled . The crushing tragedy of the Challenger effectively froze t he american space program in its tracks. It took the United Stat es two and a half years to shake off the dust and get back to its feet. In the meantime, Russia has announced intentions to send a man to Mars. A race that appeared t o be eve r -so-toilsome is now suddenly vigorous again. Mars is now threatening to replace the moon as man's paramount trophy of acheivement.
OFF THE CUFF Larry Boisjolie The success of Discovery brings great hope for the future of America's space program. Once again we can resume our progress in the space race. The space program has brought us such luxuries as Teflon, satellite television and even powdered breakfast drinks. Contribut ions to the fields of electronics and meteorology are almost immeasurable. It is safe to say that life as we know it now would not exist without the luxuries given to us by our space program. When the Challenger exploded, memory of these contributions disintigrated. So overwhelmed was the nation by the loss of seven courageous lives, it lost track of how hard it fought to get to the point it had reached. Before the accident we had taken for granted that reaching space was a dangerous undertaking. Man was not designed to live in the air less void of space, yet, we proved it could be done. The Challenger astronauts lost their lives for the continuance of the space program. The Discovery proved that they were not lost in

Sales of student ID cards have fallen below projections, leaving Associated Student Government members scrambling to balance the budget and lay the blame. When the student gmrernment's budget was created last spring, officials expected income from the sale of ID cards to amount to $16,000, paying for over 19 percent of the ASG's 1988-89 budget. To the dismay of ASG President Ken Green, "We don't have $16,000 from the student ID cards." ASG Vice President Michelle Harding suggested in a Sept. 28 student government meeting that part of the problem revolved around the inaccessability of ASG senators. She said the senators, who are responsible for the sale of ID cards, are available only during limited and regular hours. According to the student government's constitution, senators are obliged to spend three hours each week working on ASG business. "I would appreciate it if they would do so," said Harding.
Meanwhile, Green suggests that members of all clubs supported by the ASG should hold themselves responsible for the purchase of ID cards. At least one organization funded by the ASG, the speech and debate team, currently requires members to posses a student ID. At the same ASG meeting, alternatives for balancing the now debtridden budget were discussed. No official decisions could be made as the required quorum of senators was not in attendance. "I can't go to any of those groups and say, 'You can't have your money,' " Green asserted. Instead, cutting back or eliminating various college functions was discussed. Senators put plans for the sixth annual All School Picnic on hold pending a brighter budget outlook, and Harding loudly protested potential cuts in the Homecoming funding. "This meeting is adjourned," she quipped and prematurely left the meeting.
Cafeteria cooks up clean new look Matt Tucker
Staff Writer Improvements to the cafeteria have been made not only to increase its aesthetic value, but in the hopes that the renovation would turn around the food services department's fmancial woes, according to Mike Ellis, director of buildings and grounds. The cafeteria, which pays rent to the school, has been steadily losing money. In the 1986-1987 fiscal year, debts totaled $24,325.23. A consultant was hired by the cafeteria to study the reason for the loss. After the consultant concluded that the cafeteria was not an attractive area to eat, a recommendation was made to
improve the atmosphere. Nick Paz, director offood services, said, "It was ancient, now -it's clean and modern." According to Ellis, the approximate cost of the refurbishment was $21,000, although he stressed that equipment as well as the addition of new tile and walls were included in that figure. Expenses for the year were compared with a local fast food restaurant's expenditures. The figures were similar with the exception of wages. The cafeteria spends $29,000 more than ther local restaurant used for comparison, a difference Paz attributes to the longevity of the average cafeteria employee compared to the high employee turnover that fast food restaurants experience.
The Comet Express, which shares space with the cafeteria, did not lose money. Paz credited its success to low food spoilage, since it deals with fast food. He also pointed out that it requires fewer workers. Elly Herink, food services head cashier, pointed out some of the new features, one of which is a new grill that runs on gas instead of electricity. Now when the power goes out, food can still be cooked. Other new items include tables, counters and a well-stocked fruit juice refrigerator. Future expan- ' sions are to include a taco bar and a pizza oven. For the most part students seem to like the improvements.
Vanished (continued from page 1) She also disagrees with Bowen in that the Women's Center is on hold . "I say it's vanished, because there's no sign of it." However, Bowen stated that the furniture and equipment that was used in the cente r has been relocated in other rooms. He made sure a list was made so he would know where everything was and could be assembled and used when needed. Backart said the college is in a "limbo state" concerning restarting the center. "I'm coordinating the efforts to get it going again," he said, but, "at this point, there's no one to take over." He said a lack of
funding has created difficulty, but the "hold position" should last only 10 more days. $2,000 was set aside in the 1988-89 ASG budget for the Women's Center. According to Galloway, $2,000 provided by the ASG was used last year for the purchase of office equipment, typewriters, refreshments, and works hops . Other funding was provided , but was not needed. Bowen also said the center would re-open "as soon as there's interest by the ASG or by outside funding." He was surprised there was interest in the center's closing."! had no real inquires until today,"

he said, referring to this interview. ''I'm surprised it's even an issue." Galloway disagrees. She says that several students came to her asking what had happened to the Women's Center; she hadn't known of the closing until those students' inquiries. She urges students to petition and show their interest in the center so that it may be reopened. Last years Women's Center, pictured left, served as a student help center. Students would help students who would be in crisis situations.
don't get the attention we should." "Sheriffs have to go to their priorities first, so I can't criticize them," he says. "However, I feel comfortable saying that I think we're a low priority." "Students are going to have to help each other by watching out," Mahan cautioned. Reports of suspected criminal activity on campus can be phoned in to the Campus Patrol at Ext. 2289.
